Please note that margin valuations of non-SGD denominated Collateral and loans will be subjected to daily FX fluctuations. You may transfer your marginable securities with Central Depository Pte. Ltd. (CDP) or other financial institutions to your Share Financing account. You may start trading after your securities are transferred to OCBC Securities Pte. Ltd (OSPL). Marginable Securities Almost all securities quoted on the Singapore Exchange (include foreign currency denominated shares and warrants with more than 6 months to expiration date) and selected securities quoted on the stock exchanges of Malaysia, Hong Kong, United States of America and Australia are marginable. In all, you can choose from the widest list of more than 2,500 listed securities. Multi-Currency Facility The 4 currencies available are SGD, HKD, USD & AUD (the “Multi-currencies”). This provides you with greater flexibility and helps manage your foreign exchange exposure. Trading You can trade via our iOCBC platform, mobile trading platform or with your Trading Representative. Trade Settlement Modes You can choose to settle your trades in the traded currencies (i.e. SGD, HKD, USD & AUD) or SGD. If the traded currency is other than the Multi-currencies available, settlement will be in SGD. Corporate Action Events Proceeds The corporate action will be credited by default in traded currencies (i.e. SGD, HKD, USD & AUD). Debit Balance Interest Accrual If there are insufficient funds in the settlement currency to settle your contracts, you will have to pay OSPL debit balance interest in the settlement currency. This is notwithstanding the fact that you may have sufficient funds in a currency other than the settlement currency. You may wish to give instructions to your Trading Representative to instruct a currency conversion from the currency in credit to offset the debit balance in the settlement currency. Custodian Accounts Your SF account is linked to a designated sub-account maintained by OSPL with CDP. When you deposit or purchase securities listed in Singapore Exchange into your SF account, it will be held in custody in this sub-account. For securities listed in other foreign stock exchanges, it will be held in custody with an established global custody service provider. Version dated 1 Jun 2017

Share Financing Account Factsheet
Single-Counter Limit (SCL) We set a limit on the number of shares we accept for financing purposes. This is known as the Single Counter Limit (SCL) and will be reviewed from time to time. For example, if the SCL for ABC shares is 100,000 and you bought or deposited 200,000 shares, only 100,000 shares will be taken into account when computing the total marginable value of shares in your margin portfolio. This will affect both the financing available to you as well as margin call requirements. Price Cap Factor (PCF) Price Cap Factor (PCF) refers to the factor that we apply to ascertain the value of a Marginable Security. For example, a PCF of 0.7 means that if the last done price of that security is S$1.00, we will value this stock at only S$0.70 when we compute the marginable value of that particular Marginable Security. Contra Trades Contra trades are not allowed in Share Financing. You will have to settle your outstanding buy and sell contracts by their respective settlement dates. Utilization of CPF or SRS funds Share Financing account cannot be used to buy and sell any securities under the CPFIS and SRS schemes. Payment Modes Cash Only SGD cash payment can be made at our customer service counter. We are located at 18 Church Street #01-00 OCBC Centre South Singapore (049479).

Telegraphic Transfer Payment may be made by TT. Please contact your Trading Representative or our hotline at 1800 338 8688 for the bank accounts details. EPS (Electronic Payment for shares) Alternatively, you may prefer to link your designated bank account to the Share Financing account. EPS facilitates the direct crediting of payment (in SGD) from your bank account. You may also choose to make payment for your transactions via the ATMs or internet banking facility of your designated bank. Un-utilized Funds Interest (if any) will be computed on a daily rest basis and credited at the end of the month. The credit interest rate is reviewed periodically and subject to changes. Statements You will receive a monthly statement of account detailing your securities transactions, your balance and interest earned (if any) or due from you in the respective Multi Currencies. In addition, you will receive a margin valuation report setting out the number of securities held under your Share Financing Account and your margin position for that day.

Margin Call Fulfillment Margin call can be fulfilled in the following manner: (a) cash top-up in either the currency in which there is a debit balance in the currency ledger or any of the other Multi Currencies. (i) Please note that cash top-ups in a particular currency will be automatically credited to the currency ledger of that particular currency to either reduce the debit balance or increase the credit balance in that currency ledger. (ii) If you provide cash top up in a currency other than the currency in which there is a debit balance in the currency ledger, interest on the debit balance will continue to accrue but the margin call will be taken to have been satisfied if the cash top up meets margin valuations in S$ equivalent. (iii) If you wish for your cash top-up to be credited into a currency ledger different from the currency of your cash top up, you will have to give instructions to your Trading Representative to instruct a currency conversion.

Important Notes Trading in securities can be very risky, and you may lose all or more than the amount invested or deposited. You should therefore consider carefully and exercise caution in making any trading decision whether or not you have received advice from any financial adviser. Borrowing to finance the trading of securities (leveraging/gearing) carries a high degree of risk. If the value of the collaterals declines substantially, falling below the maintenance margin requirement, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the specified time, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. All other services and products offered by OCBC Securities are subject to relevant terms and conditions.
